UConn v. Northeastern - Monday 5/15@3p @ J.O.C.

[SAMCRO]

This is a really big week for UConn. Northeastern RPI is 178, URI is 53, and ECU is 85. UConn must collect wins here.

5-0 to finish the year SHOULD get UConn off the bubble and in the CWS, regardless of AAC tourney, unless there are upsets in other conf. tourneys and teams that would not have otherwise made it take a spot
4-1 and UConn will need some wins in the AAC tourney to get an at-large bid.
3-2 or worse and UConn will need to win the AAC tourney to get in.

Mid 3: A nice bounce back frame for Ronnie in the third. #UConn 1, Northeastern 2

Once again, we will be fine IF we score. I do not understand our inability to score vs. awful midweek pitching.

 

[Baseballguy]

Please don't lose this game. This pitcher has a 6+ ERA

So Chris Jones just said that Poulin will start tomorrow. Are you kidding me after all the pitches he just threw this weekend. Meanwhile Nepiarsky continues to rot on the bench. I just don't get it.

I was thinking the same thing. Poulin will be needed out of the bullpen against ECU. He must have thrown 50 or so this past weekend. Now 2 days later he'll be throwing about 80. It doesn't make sense to me.

 

[uconnbaseball]

What also does not make sense is not touching this kid. He has nothing.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Great offense so far. Wind is gusting in and they're all hitting the ball in the air.

End 4: #UConn 1, Northeastern 2

 

[uconnbaseball]

Bullpen continues to hold it down. We are gonna need some walks / solid line drives because we seem incapable of game changing swings.

M5: Conor Moriarty just saved a run twice with two great plays at second base. 2-1 Northeastern and Stefanski-Moriarty-Winkel are due

 

[uconnbaseball]

4 pitch leadoff walk. Let's go.

Edit: Lucky error and we are gifted two baserunners.

 

[Baseballguy]

It's funny to me that we can't even get a bunt down. Small ball is our only way of manufacturing runs and we can't even do that.

 

[Baseballguy]

We executed. Prato got a bunt down to score a run

 

[ATLDYKA]

And now run ourselves out of an inning. We don't have speed or power.

Tie Game! Anthony Prato safety squeeze evens up the score 2-2 in the fifth!

 

[Baseballguy]

Sigh

 

[WrenchFan69]

Why do we ultimately blow every weekday game possible?

 

[ATLDYKA]

Little too late now Coach for Nepiarsky.
